Association of acute Babesia canis infection and serum lipid, lipoprotein, and apoprotein concentrations in dogs. [PDF]
Background Babesia canis infection induces a marked acute phase response (APR) that might be associated with alteration in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and disease prognosis. Hypothesis Dogs with B. canis‐induced APR develop dyslipidemia with altered

Two Species of Canine Babesia in Australia: Detection and Characterization by PCR [PDF]
The haemoprotozoan Babesia canis has been recognized in Australia for many years, and a second, smaller species has recently been discovered. Amplification and sequencing of a partial region of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene enabled ...

Molecular detection and control of nonregenerative anaemia associated with Babesia gibsoni and Anaplasma platys coinfection in a dog [PDF]
Anaemia and thrombocytopenia are the common clinical features of blood parasite infection in dogs. Blood parasites previously identified in dogs in Kerala were Babesia gibsoni, Babesia canis vogeli, Ehrlichia canis and Trypanosoma evansi.

Canine babesiosis in northern Portugal and molecular characterization of vector-borne co-infections
Background Protozoa and bacteria transmitted by arthropods, including ticks and phlebotomine sand flies, may cause a wide range of canine vector-borne diseases. Dogs can be simultaneously or sequentially infected with multiple pathogens.
